Looks like we can get 25 LED's to light up with one transistor and either 1.5 or 3v.

Any Thoughts Welcome.....

Paul.

  • What kind of Voltage do you think this might get out of an Earth battery. (Two dissimilar rods in the ground.)

    Too cold for me to try. It's -25C this week.

  • I think it will be enough to light one of these joule thiefs.

    I live in a flat and its hard for me to try it so please post a video!

    Paul.

  • Unrelated to this, can we use a coil and back EMF setup to power some LEDs with small voltage?

    BTW, great video kubikop, I'm your long term subscriber, love your bedini setups :D

    Keep up the good work!

  • Sure, this circuit runs as low as 0.398v before it switches off.

    Thanks for Watching...

    Paul.

  • would a joule thief help on my reciever?

    great job, i have a 1/2 ferrite core and some

    2n3906 pnp transtors, and wire. what else do i need?

  • You need:

    1nr Transistor, 2N2222 or equivelent

    1nr 2k Variable Resistor ot 1k FIxed

    1nr Ferrite Core

    1nr Length of Magnet wire

    1nr LED

    Some Patience winding the Coil...

see all

  • The power supply is the thing so much time looking at the bulb!

  • Learn to pronounce battery, please..  It's like your stuck in the medevil ages.... There is an "E' in the word. What your pronouncing is someone getting beat up.

  • Love it, out of focus, hard to see wtf, mumbling presentation, rambling. GODS, Youtube fail from this guy.

    Keep the camera still

    Keep the camera in focus

    Script ahead so you know what you are doing.

    use movie maker to edit it to be halfway useable.

  • Love it, out of focus, hard to see wtf, mumbling presentation, rambling. GODS, Youtube fail from this guy.

  • Full bright limits current around 50mA at what mA of AA?

  • 2 AA battery made my transistor sooo hot..

  • Can you tell me that parts needed to light 30LEDs with good brightness?

  • wow i made one of thoses Joule Thiefs and there are powerful

  • well you can't make electricity but it's still cool!!! :)
